With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of politics junkies and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). Power and ambition drive every scene. Sits nicely alongside The Batman. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
- The mood
- Gritty.
- The pace
- Well paced, at 1 hr 23 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Yuji and Kosaku become involved with a brother and sister who want to drive a local yakuza gang member out of their neighborhood.
